영문 초록

  This paper draws a topography of the painterly narrative strategies found in the poems of e. e. cummings and William Carlos Williams. In doing so, this paper traces the influence of European avant-garde art on American modern poetry, discusses Wallace Stevens"s classification of “modern” poetry, and argues for the significance of the painterly narrative strategy as a ‘modern" narrative strategy.
  In traditional poems, the narrative develops through a series of metaphors. In some of cummings"s and Williams"s poems, however, this strategy is replaced with a new narrative strategy called “painterly.” By analyzing this “painterly” aspects of the texts, i.e., the enhanced utilization of the materiality of the words and the way the text is laid out, this paper tries to prove three points regarding the new narrative strategy. First, in the overall signification process, the image of the text itself, not the imagery in it, takes over the role metaphors used to assume as the chief narrative device. Second, the materiality of the language gets manipulated in a certain way, so that all the abnormalcies on every grammatical level play an active role in directing the signification process. Third, the painterly narrative strategy itself can be classified into three kinds: one deployed on the surface of the text, another buried right under the surface of the text, and the last one intertwined with the texture of the text.
